MU researchers in the Thompson Laboratory for Regenerative Orthopaedics have developed innovative technologies for procedures to treat patients with problems affecting their knees, shoulders, hips, ankles, spine and other joints.

Their breakthroughs facilitate more precise and accurate joint restoration surgery through the development of customized instrumentation systems, implants and techniques. This customization affords patients the opportunity for more functional outcomes by enabling surgeons to expand their treatment toolbox and overcome the limitations of other technologies.
